I am not sure it's a Casino offer. My rates look very similar to yours and I frequent the casino a lot. However, I took my parents on their 1st ever cruise in July and when I log into my Mom's account and look at the same cruise the pricing matches the OPs. My mom did not spend a single cent in the casino

 

they might have linked your accounts (my parents were..)

 

Given how bad the industry is faring right now https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/CCL?qsearchterm= I expect these fire sales to continue

Heading to Alaska end of June for 1178 for the two of us. $500 casino and beverage pkg. that iprice includes insurance and crew. Couldn’t resist.

They should give us all access to these “fire sales” then, not just a select few.

I'm jealous! My Mariner deals aren't really much, but I did notice a small difference.  I looked at rates without logging in, then logged in and saw they were about $100-200 less. I'm just at 1 star.

Her email offers look like this.. 

 

while casino offers normally look like this....

 

So I really don't think it is a casino related.

I don't think those amazing offers are ever made to Australians, unfortunately, as I would certainly grab them.

I am a 3 star, almost 4 star and I have received these offers.  They started coming in after my 2019, 51 day South Pacific cruise.  Some friends advised I do some casino play and I would receive offers.  They were right, and I am so grateful for their friendly advice.  At the end of the cruise I received an offer, and have since via email.  I have not received the past two offers people have posted.  I will be taking a casino cruise first week of November, and a 16 day TA in May 2023.  I am hoping after my play in November, they will continue again.  If not, I am thankful for my upcoming TA that gets me to Europe to visit my ds and dil.  Aside, from the complimentary cruises I am also seeing significant discounts on non casino cruises.  The next time you are on a HAL ship I recommend doing a bit of play.

Ugh....I now need to be a 3* Mariner from the USA who gambles to get this.....I'll try to force my self to go drop some money at the blackjack table and we shall see what happens.

Well, got an email from HAL saying October 15th is the last day to book my free inside stateroom, so maybe I missed an email announcing that I had any offers, don't recall seeing one. The email had the list of offers in it - I could really get a 35 day Australia trip for 200???? I checked, I can! Too bad I don't have the time

Yes, I only play the slots.  Play a little each night.  Perhaps get friendly with the casino host.  I did not get friendly on the big cruise, but, think I will this time.  We cruise Nov 5-12.  If you remind me will let you know how it goes.

When I first received this offer by email on 9/30 I spent most of that night awake trying to figure out how I could pull off this deal of a lifetime for a bucket list trip to Australia where I do have some family. The 34 day cruise from San Diego to Sydney on 10/8 for roughly $500($300+ taxes/fees and $200 OBC back, followed by the circumnavigation 35 day cruise on 11/12 for $917($717 taxes/fees and $200 OBC back)...69 days for less than a $1,500 initial investment!! In the end I wasn't able to commit to this last-minute dream adventure but hopefully somebody else out there did.

These offers are making my head spin! For those of you who receive these offers, will you share how much you spend in the casinos? Do you have a "system" to get these offers?

I don't think mine is casino-based, I rarely spend more than 100 in the casino on a trip, nor do I ever play Bingo. I think mine is like someone said earlier, I've done a few cruises with them but don't have any on the horizon. 

[Destiny0315]

These offers are generated though the same place that handles HAL's casino deals but are being offered it appears to a random group of both casino and non-casino players and to most Mariner levels.

Not only do Australian 3 star mariners never get these offers, we don’t seem to get any discounted fares as Mariner rewards.

It is very galling to think that the 35 day Round Australia cruise costing us thousands is being offered to others for peanuts. 
We have started booking with other Carnival brands such as Princess and P&O where we can get a better deal on local cruises.

There seems to be 2 offers going on.  I haven’t read this entire thread because it’s redundant.  The few posts I read sounded like casino prices.

I hear you.  Every time I say the same thing someone takes a stab at me.  It’s ok to brag endlessly how cheap you get something but if people (rightfully) get upset you are game for nasty comments.  It speaks volumes of those that choose to do so.

I think they are for 4 & 5 star mariners. I really want to do the North Pacific crossing in April 2023 but doubt the wife will let me....but If I tell her it's not a casino deal....

Nope.  They are not for 4 and 5 star Mariners unless they are casino players as well.  I’m a 5 star.  No deals remotely like that.

[Chickadee910]

3 star here….hadn’t seen an offer then got the latest one last week for veranda plus $55 plus beverage so jumped on a trip to Alaska.

[Chickadee910]

$500 not 55

I hear you mate regarding HAL's apparent disconnect with the Australian home market. My own family in Australia can't believe how ironic it is that if they booked the same cruise to see most of their own country which they have never seen that they would have to pay a premium.

[BermudaBound2014]

I received an offer from HAL. I am a bare bones gambler that hasn’t sailed on HAL in quite a long time; although I did have two long cruises booked and canceled by HAL due to covid, so I’ve been active in the system.
 

Makes me wonder Hal has created a list of 5 star “complainers” who will never get the offers.

 

Kidding of course 😉
